  • the proposed service brake thus also serves as a holding brake.
  • the brake pads used in service brakes are normally selected so as to achieve comfortable braking.
  • the service brake is dimensioned such that it only performs its ordinary service brake function, there is a risk of creeping between the first and second discs, i.e. a risk of rotation, however slow, between the first and second discs, when the service brake is used as a holding brake.
  • the service brakes proposed in the prior art are oversized to such an extent that creeping is prevented. Because the brake is oversized, it requires a correspondingly larger design space, which compromises the compactness of the winch.
  • the object noted above is solved by a winch, in particular a free-fall winch, as disclosed herein.
